This book is one of the best murder-mystery style novels I have read in a long time, I kept guessing right to the very end. There were so many questions screaming inside my head while reading this book. Who killed Andie? Is Andie really dead? Did she deserve her ending? Who blamed Sal? Did Sal really do it? Who was sending threatening messages to Pippa to stop her from digging? I loved this book because the author had me second-guessing my guesses throughout the entire book. She included mystery, adventure, drama, thriller, and just the right amount of romance. The whole Andie/Sal case was something of a true mystery, the intent of the true killer being unknown and the fact the people we least expected turned out to be the reason behind Sal and Andie's deaths. Holly Jackson included one last thrilling part to the story before ending it. There is nothing about this book that disappointed me. Everything about this storyline matches up to reality.

The plot is great, but overall I was kind of bored while reading and had to force myself to finish it. I LOVE the story...but I'm not fond of the author's writing style because she often over explains and describes things which makes me lose interest fast. And to be honest, the ending was not what I was hoping for...I didn't expect it...but it was pretty anticlimactic. Tho you should get it if you don't mind things being more descriptive than neccessary.

This is a defined as a young adult novel and I am most definitely not a "young" adult anymore, but I still enjoyed this book immensely. Excellent plot and the characters are endearing and develop as you learn more about them. It was a unique reading experience with the display of evidence and case logs throughout too. Looking forward to reading books 2 and 3 in the series.

The publisher took effort into designing a beautiful cover for the book using lovely fonts and imagery. Unfortunately I didn't get to see it since a barcode was stuck across it.

One of my favourite stories. Except, it should have come packaged better.
